"Setting it on fire is the most effective and quickest way!" Xu Qing answered Chen Mingchuan without hesitation.
Xiao Xin looked uneasy: "This... won't cause any problems, will it?"
“Then you can say you have something to do and call Teacher Feng away. That should definitely be fine.” For some reason, Tong Xiaolu always felt that Xiao Xin was a bit too effeminate.
Normally, she would cling to the man and not let go whenever there was danger. We said we'd wait a bit before going to 306. The other two teams were fine, but it was their team that had a fatality.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xin was momentarily speechless.
She glared at Tong Xiaolu, but dared not retort, for she vividly remembered what had happened to Ding Zhao, who had bullied her yesterday.
Those lunatics are not to be trifled with.
Xiao Xin lowered her head and hid behind Li Qi, who was also helpless.
It's no use you coming to me; I don't dare to mess with them!
Xiao Jin watched coldly from the side, while Xu Qing said, "Nothing will happen. As long as we find a good place to set the fire, we will definitely lure people out of 306."
Besides, we're just setting a small fire, not burning down the building. If we control it properly, there won't be any problems.
The others thought the same way, so after studying the situation for a while, they decided to locate the place in the lobby on the first floor, where there would be the most people and the biggest commotion.
Moreover, the carpet is flammable, and there's a magic circle drawn on it, which will definitely lure Teacher Feng out.
Not only that, everyone also wanted to take this opportunity to see who knew anything about the magic array!
………………
At that moment, Ms. Feng was lying comfortably in an old-fashioned rocking chair in the room. Sunlight filtered through the half-drawn curtains, dappling her body and adding to her gentle appearance.
Her fingers gently stroked the yellowed photo frame in her hand, her eyes revealing endless nostalgia and tenderness.
However, this tranquility did not last long, as a sudden commotion shattered the peace like a storm.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?" Teacher Feng frowned, her displeasure evident.
She straightened up, her originally calm face now showing a hint of impatience and alertness.
They're definitely outsiders. Just wait, night is almost here...
Thinking of this, Teacher Feng chuckled softly, her eyes filled with ambiguity.
Just then, the noise outside grew even louder, interspersed with panicked shouts and hurried footsteps, creating a chaotic scene like ants on a hot plate.
Ms. Feng's heart began to race, and an ominous premonition loomed over her like a dark cloud.
"Fire!" Suddenly, a sharp shout rang in Ms. Feng's ears like a thunderclap. She jerked violently and jumped up as if struck by an electric current.
At that moment, her eyes flashed with unprecedented fear and anxiety, and her hand gripping the photo frame tightened unconsciously, her fingertips turning white from the force.
She rushed to the door at almost breakneck speed, pushed it open, and nearly burst out the door.
"Where is the fire?" she shouted hoarsely, her expression contorted from the exertion, making her completely unrecognizable from her previous gentle demeanor.
Outside the door, there was chaos.
The residents ran in panic, carrying buckets of water and their faces filled with fear.
Teacher Feng reached out and grabbed someone, shaking them violently by the shoulder: "Who shouted 'Fire!' Where is the fire?" Her voice was sharp and shrill due to her anxiety.
The other person was startled by her appearance and involuntarily shrank back, their eyes filled with fear.
"It's...it's in the lobby on the first floor. The carpet there somehow...it caught fire, and the fire is spreading. Everyone is trying their best to put it out!"
The man stammered his reply, his face as pale as paper, clearly also quite frightened by the sudden fire.
"What?" Upon hearing this, Teacher Feng was shocked and her face turned ashen.
She reacted almost instantly, shoving the person in front of her aside and rushing forward at an unimaginable speed, completely inhuman.
Only after Teacher Feng's swift figure had completely disappeared did Xiao Jin and the others dare to slowly emerge from the hidden corner.
Xiao Jin set the fire, but she didn't do it herself; instead, she used a small paper doll from her backpack.
She obtained the paper doll during a mission, but hadn't found an opportunity to use it. After all, the paper doll was small, and could only perform very simple tasks for Xiao Jin.
But it's perfect for setting fires.
As expected, the person was transferred.
However, the players saw everything clearly, without missing a single detail of what Teacher Feng looked like.
After entering the room, Luo Bin didn't forget to say to Cui Mingyang, "Teacher Feng really knew about this formation. Do you think she might have drawn it?"
"Obviously, otherwise why do you think she'd be the building manager? Do you think anyone could pull a fast one without her noticing?"
"Hehe, of course there's no one there." Luo Bin glanced around after entering. "Besides, it's obvious that someone goes to that rooftop often. The only person who can frequently enter and exit a locked rooftop is the building manager."
Everyone had already entered 306 one after another. When Xiao Jin was the last to close the door, he didn't forget to drop a Detective Eye into the corner of the corridor.
The tiny eyeball traced a subtle arc in the air, silently embedding itself in the shadows, shimmering with an almost imperceptible light.
The room was quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind coming from outside the window.
The layout of 306 is similar to the one above, but in addition to Mr. Feng's master bedroom, there seems to be a secondary bedroom that is locked.
The group stood at the door, each with their own dilemma.
"This is not a good situation!" Luo Bin scratched his head.
“Given the system’s modus operandi, it will never let us succeed so easily.” Cui Mingyang’s face darkened. “The place we’re looking for is probably inside.”
Moreover, he could guarantee that the moment he broke down the door, Ms. Feng on the first floor would know that someone had broken into her room.
"Forget it, let's check other places first!" This opportunity is too rare; setting fires won't work next time.
Then, the group looked around the master bedroom, the kitchen, and even the bathroom, but found very little.
Only Xiao Jin stared blankly at the picture frame on the small table. The background of the picture seemed to be in the living room, where Teacher Feng was smiling happily.
It wasn't the fake, insincere laughter we see now, but genuine joy from the bottom of my heart.
Standing next to her was a refined-looking man wearing glasses and a beige wool coat.
She was someone you could tell was very gentle just by looking at her.
Xiao Jin discovered a unique scholarly temperament in him.
